W Hotels That Were Something Else First

The W hotel brand started in 1998 and there are some fantastic new hotels in the brand's portfolio. My favorite is the W Boston followed closely by the W South Beach. Unfortunately not all W hotels are new constructions, like the W Chicago Loop. The give away that this was an old hotel, among other things not including the small rooms with poor sound insulation, was the mail chute by the elevators. These are the marks of nice, but old, buildings. I did mail some post cards with them, so they are fun and practical too.
